Cigarettes After Sex, the ambient indie band formed in 2008 by Greg Gonzalez, has become a favorite for fans who enjoy atmospheric, dreamy music. Their sound is characterized by slow, reverb-heavy guitar melodies and Gonzalez’s breathy, intimate vocals, which combine to create a mood that is both haunting and romantic. The band gained widespread recognition with their self-titled debut album in 2017 and further solidified their reputation with their 2022 release, X, which continues their exploration of themes like love, desire, and emotional vulnerability.
Cigarettes After Sex's music is often described as cinematic, evoking a sense of nostalgia and intimacy, making it a perfect soundtrack for those quiet, reflective moments. The release of X marked a new chapter for the band, blending their signature dreamy sound with more complex textures and new sonic elements. Fans of the band will be thrilled to experience the tracks live when Cigarettes After Sex returns to Manila on January 14, 2025, for their X's World Tour.

This performance will mark the band’s highly anticipated return to the Philippines after their successful Manila debut in 2018, where they played to a sold-out crowd at the VERTIS TENT in Quezon City. That show was a turning point for many local fans who have followed the band’s music closely and couldn’t get enough of their mesmerizing live presence. The 2025 concert promises to deliver the same atmospheric experience, combining songs from X with earlier hits like K, Apocalypse, and Sweet.
Cigarettes After Sex's concerts are a journey through sound and emotion, where the audience is transported into a world of intimacy and raw vulnerability. If you missed their first show in Manila, this is your chance to witness one of the most enchanting live performances in indie music today.
The Cigarettes After Sex: X's World Tour – Manila 2025 is presented by Karpos Live.
